This Cyberlearning Capacity-Building project brings together learning scientists, experts in media creation, experts in child development, producers of public media assets, parent, and educators in an effort to build social infrastructure that will support bringing what is known about how people learn to the design of public media that can effectively connect school learning and out-of-school learning for young children. The team's theoretical framing and working hypothesis highlights the importance of media as a catalyst for collaboration and learning conversations; according to the theoretical base, these collaborations and learning conversations, when carried out across peers and in families, can play a powerful role in connecting children's school and outside-of-school experiences. Two workshops are being convened for the purpose of shedding light on the pragmatics of doing this -- the R&D partnerships needed, the methods that might be used, and the issues that need to be addressed for success. Through partnerships with children's educational media producers, the team is building capacity for interdisciplinary teams that include learning scientists and media producers to engage in research around how to use public media assets to promote the kinds of learning conversations in and out of school that will connect home and school settings into a distributed learning environment. This project is laying the groundwork for new interdisciplinary research efforts addressing issues in early learning. The team's theoretical framework points to media as a catalyst for the kinds of collaborations and conversations that might promote learning and connect children's school and out-of-school experiences. Thus, this project is bringing together learning scientists and children's educational media producers (PBS, Sesame Workshop, the Joan Ganz Cooney Center) to seed future collaborations. The goals of this initial collaboration are to work together to establish new methods for studying learning with media and advance understanding of how public media assets can be leveraged to support the learning and interest development of young children and their families.

这个网络学习能力建设项目汇集了学习科学家、媒体创作专家、儿童发展专家、公共媒体资产制作者、家长和教育工作者，努力建设社会基础设施，支持将人们如何学习的知识用于设计公共媒体，从而有效地将幼儿的学校学习和校外学习联系起来。该团队的理论框架和工作假设强调了媒体作为协作和学习对话催化剂的重要性;根据理论基础，这些协作和学习对话在同龄人和家庭中进行时，可以在连接儿童的学校和校外体验方面发挥强大的作用。目前正在举办两次讲习班，以阐明这样做的实用性-所需的研发伙伴关系、可能使用的方法以及为取得成功而需要解决的问题。 通过与儿童教育媒体制作人的伙伴关系，该团队正在为包括学习科学家和媒体制作人在内的跨学科团队进行能力建设，以研究如何利用公共媒体资产促进学校内外的各种学习对话，将家庭和学校环境连接到分布式学习环境中。该项目正在为解决早期学习问题的新的跨学科研究工作奠定基础。该团队的理论框架指出，媒体是各种合作和对话的催化剂，可以促进学习，并将儿童的学校和校外经历联系起来。因此，该项目将学习科学家和儿童教育媒体制作人（PBS，芝麻工作室，琼甘兹库尼中心）聚集在一起，为未来的合作奠定基础。这一初步合作的目标是共同努力，建立新的方法，研究学习与媒体和推进了解如何利用公共媒体资产，以支持幼儿及其家庭的学习和兴趣发展。
